Fatal Truck Accidents in Alabama

Fatal accidents take the lives of hundreds of people in Alabama annually. Many of these accidents are preventable. We often see innocent people pay the ultimate price as a result of drivers who are reckless. Many truck accidents take place due to drivers who are speeding to make it to their destinations, distracted by their CB radios, cell phones, or even eating, and drivers who engage in other acts of negligence.

Unfortunately, families are often forced to deal with overwhelming consequences as a result of these accidents. Families are often forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars covering funeral expenses, burial fees, medical costs, and more.
